[Solaxys]

[jaysguy44]

This is insane

[Solaxys]

LETS f***ING GO SPRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR cf

[EdwinsParrot]

[John_Havok]

That’s such a bad decision by Refsnyder to dive for that ball. Lolo

[BigCecil]

We are getting some BAPIP luck now. Loving it.

[Omar]

and he's way too far as well lmao

[BigCecil]

A very 2022 AB for Vlad with RISP and 2 out....but no matter. Jays in flight.

 

Now shut em down Strip.

Yep. Just perfection by the pitcher. All corners and bottom of the zone. Nothing in the middle of the plate

[Omar]

Stripling coming back out ice cold:confused:

[Solaxys]

That swing should not have had that result. f***in Devers.

[Daniel Labude]

Wasn't Kikuchi avg 97 mph last year? Maybe avg just under 95 is part of his problem along with command

[Solaxys]

Nice play by Strip & Vlad

[John_Havok]

Arroyo with some impressive takes on those 2 strike changeups, damn

[Daniel Labude]

Nice play by Strip & Vlad

 

Didn't think Stripling would make it. Perfect throw by Vlad and line by Stripling

95.2 last year. 94.9 this year. Not much difference. I think he is a 97 max guy.

[Spanky99]

That was some sexy 2 out hitting there fellas in the 3rd!

[Spanky99]

Yeah, he sits 95-97 in any given start... 97 is his max, I believe.

[BigCecil]

I'll probably regret this with a 3 gm series but Cordero totally sucks.

[Spanky99]

He's s***, so is Dalbec.

[Daniel Labude]

How can you pitch Vlad so perfect and then throw fastballs down the middle over and over to Judge...makes no sense lol

[Spanky99]

Should've buried them that inning.

Shut-up, meat.

[Daniel Labude]

Shutp-up, meat.

Judge almost never swings at stuff that are low/away borderline (being the biggest reason of Boone getting thrown out a lot for arguing those borderline calls against Judge).

By forcing the pitchers to stay around the upper 3/4 of the strikezone, mistakes happen and he launches them.

 

If you consistently try and make contact with those low/away pitches (even if there's an odd chance it'll be a strike), then that's all you're ever gonna get.

Last 2 ABs Vlad has seen 7 strikes at the extreme top or bottom of the strike zone. Not a single thing you can do with that. Judge gets 6 middle pitches every 2 ABs. I've only seen the Jays try to pitch him to the corners. Other teams just throw it over the plate or hang it. When was the last time Vlad got a center center hanging slider...no one misses when pitching to him. Its like 1 every 100 ABs vs 1 every 2 ABs lol

[gruber92]

Over the next 18 games, a 12-6 record should be the floor.

[Daniel Labude]

Stripling settled in nicely tonight

[gruber92]

Stripling is making boat loads of money more and more after each start.
